MLS Regular Season

Our June Scarf of the Month is dedicated to our in-state rivalry, the Texas Derby.

You don’t like the Houston Dynamo, so show your support in crushing the orange with this month’s scarf devoted to our lone home opponent of the month.

FC Dallas is up 1-0 in the chase for El Capitán this season as the teams return to a three-game season series with the Dynamo back in the Western Conference. FCD will host the Dynamo after a five-game road stretch in the team’s only home game of the month on June 26.

FC Dallas midfielder Fabian Castillo was named to the MLSSoccer.com Team of the Week for Week 12. Castillo has made TOTW six times already this season. This makes it six weeks in a row FC Dallas has had at least one player included on the list.

FC Dallas defender Walker Zimmerman was named to the MLSSoccer.com Team of the Week for Week 11. This is Zimmerman's first Team of the Week honor of the season, and marks the fifth straight week that FC Dallas has had at least one player included on the list.

D: Walker Zimmerman (FC Dallas) – Linked up well with Matt Hedges in the back, and played a steady, assured game to preserve a clean sheet against the Red Bulls.

First segment … Co-hosts Marc Stein and Steve Davis start off talking about the incomparable Leo Messi; is he the game's best ever?

Second segment … Show producer Tyler Kern tracked down L.A. Galaxy and U.S. international forward Gyasi Zardes; the interview is here.

Third segment … Bolton and U.S. national team defender Tim Ream joins the show. Topics include the balance between rest after a long season and staying fit for potential summer national team duty.

Fourth segment … On the day of the initial New York Red Bulls vs. New York City clash, the show personnel debate word choices. Should we call this a "derby," a "clásico," a "rivalry" or something else?

Twice as nice! For the second week in a row, Fabian Castillo and Mauro Diaz were both named to the MLSSoccer.com Team of the Week for week 10 of the MLS season. Castillo has been named to three of the last four TOTW's, five this season and is currently tied for the MLS lead in assists with five in ten appearances.

M: Fabian Castillo (FC Dallas) – Had more than his usual share of accelerations and dribbles which put the Galaxy backline on its heels and created dangerous opportunities in Dallas' 2-1 win over LA.

M: Mauro Diaz (FC Dallas) – Went 90 minutes for the first time since April 2014 – and fans were thankful that he did. His superb vision created both Dallas goals.

We've been trying to get this uploaded for ya'll for the last few home games and it's finally a go. In case you've never listened, FC Dallas has a fantastic radio broadcast with Steve Davis for every match and after home games we have about a 25 minute post-game show where Steve brings in a special guest to discuss everything we've seen.

This week, he brought in Tyler Kern the producer of the always-awesome ESPN Soccer Today presented by Toyota. Give it a listen and be sure to always catch the 100.7FM post-game show on your drive home from Toyota Stadium!
